General Voaol WM1 It,mu,,lun litrg., of Ih~ Islart w 11hh"1 the Fx "irl 1nw-nt I-s wmok.d Out. Washington, March (.-Secretary Root expects to turn over the muni cipal affairs of Cuba to oflicials chosen at an election to be held sono time in May, after which all military officers now engagol in municipal oflices will be recalled. As this is an experiment, tho provincial govern monts and the general control of af fairs in the island will remain in the hands of Governor General Wood and his subordinates nut il such time as the Presido'ut and Secretary of War consider the people of Cubat able to maintain order and dischargo their international obligations with out the supervision of the United States. This is following the pln proposed by Secretary Root. in his annual report, where ho sanys: 1"T'he year allowed by the treaty for the Spanish populution of the island to elect whether they will he Cuban or Spanish citizens will expire on April 11 next. It will then, for the first. t ime, be possible to determine wlo are t he citizens of Cuba otitled to take a part in the governmnmt.. By that time it is believed that the results of the census having been con put(d anu,d tabulated we shall be ready to pro. vide for iiunicipal elections, which will place all the local governwents of the island in the hanrds of repre sentatives elected by the people, and that when these local governmrencts, thus elected, are established they will be ready to proceed to the formation of a representativo convention to frame a constitution and provide for a general government of t he i;lanul, to which the United States will sur render the reins of government. When the government is established the relations which exist between it and the United States will be a mat. ter for free and uncontrolled agroo mont between the two parties." "In the approaching elections the limits applied by the Spaniards for suffrage will be recognized. They permitted only persons who road and write or pay taxes-to voto, but the franchise will also be given to all na tive Cubans who served in the revo lutionary army regardless of oduca 1 onal or property qualifications. eneral Wood, General Ludlow, eneral Wilson and other persons * o are compietenlt. to judge aro con :$~ent that the experiment will turn '4 well, although a turmoil may be potdin the first campaign. ~ecrta ry Root especially commends ~Ythe conduct of the educated Cubans and is anxious for the conserva Live element to take a more active part in the p)olitical affairs of the island." A Pretty Thought for the Young. By what means shall a young man cleanse his wvay? "By taking bcdc thereto accordling to thy wvord" Ini thc sinccrc cmnotions of his soul thc Psalmist says, '"Thy wvord I in my heart have hid, that I offend not thce."' You (10 wecll to follow his cxample. T1he wvord, through the benign influences of the spirit, is the surest, safest and only cflicient monitor you can have to keep you from offending the God you should Io.ve. IIis favor is life, and his loving kindnecss is better than life, and thcsc you can have by taking his word as a light to your feet and a-lamp to your path. There is a "'second decath"' which you should shun wvith more cncrgy and (determination than the dIread fuil pestilence, for it is the death that never (lies and banishes forcv cr from the blissful presence of otui God.

The Sabbath and Heaven. t Did you ever try to realize what'l1 Ieaven woubd l like?'( The read ing of ITehrehws, fourth chapter I and ninth ver:e, led the writer re cent ly lo do so. Ihe verse reads, c "'There renain)eth therefore a rest c to the )eople)l of God." in the c margin, opposit the word rest, will be found, "keeping of a Sah bat I." In 1the 1 cvi,ed \'ersion the c rea(ling is, "T'ihe 'r 'ieainetIi there fore a Sabbath ret for the people J of God." Not O;n ly does the Sab- c bath carry back our I houghts to ' the creation, reminding us that in I SiX days the Lord matdc heaven and I eart h, the sea, and all that in theil is, and rested t ie seventh, thereby blessing tihe Sabbat I day ad hal lowing it ; and not only does it I keep up the neml)orv of the resur- C rection of Jesus Christ, on which account it was changed from the seventh to the first day of the week ; but it is a type of heaven--a foretaste of the happiness we all hope to enjoy. One of the best ways of spending the Sabbath is to try to realize that eternal rest, and one of the best ways of realizing heaven is the pure enjoyment of a well-spent Sabbath. II you want to know what heaven is going to be like, just think of aSabbath (lay well-spent, and remember that heaven is going to be a continual keeping of Sabbath. Conceived of as a perpetual Sab bath, what do you think of heaven? Have you any desire for it? Do you think you would enjoy it? Judige this by younr enljoymnent of the earthly Sabbat hs. is the Sab, bath a dlel ight, the holy of thle Lord, hlonorable,adoyuhnr him, not doing your own wvays, nor findling your own pleasures, nor speaking your own w'ords, but delighting yourself in the Lord? We' may judlge our r-eli for heav en, and1( to sonme extent our fitness for it ill this wvay. If we havc no enjoyment in tile spirit ual privil eges whIich the (liy brings we will never get to hleaven, and we would1 not enjoy it if we did, for it is go ing to be nothing but Sabbatth there. As a simp jle type of heaven, thle Sabbath dleserves careful ob servance by all who hiope to enjoy the rest that remains to the people I of God.
